texture memory question - colour tinting a single texture multiple times?
Hi, I'm working on a project for mobile and texture memory is becoming a big issue. I'm thinking of rather than using multiple textures but to share a single texture over multiple assets with a different colour tint on it. Am I right in thinking this will reduce the memory foot print as I have heard this might brake batching and force the app to generate multiple versions of the source texture?
It will not generate multiple versions of the texture. It will create a new material for each color, which will prevent batching from working.
Thank you for your clarification on this. Provided the additionally generated materials are still referencing the source texture will be enough to make a big difference on our memory footprint. Batching isn't so important in our situation.
Thanks again :)
